org.w3c.dom.ProcessingInstruction	createProcessingInstruction(java.lang.String target, java.lang.String data, org.w3c.dom.Element parent) Creates a DOM ProcessingInstruction node and appends it as a child to the given parent element.
org.w3c.dom.Text	createTextNode(java.lang.String data, org.w3c.dom.Element parent) Creates a DOM Text node and appends it as a child to the given parent element or just appends the data to the last child of parent if that last child is a Text node.

Method Detail

createElement

public org.w3c.dom.Element createElement(java.lang.String name,
                                         org.xml.sax.AttributeList attributes,
                                         org.w3c.dom.Element parent)

Creates a DOM Element node and appends it as a child to the given parent element. The attributes stored by the SAX object are retrieved and set to the created DOM object.

Parameters:

name - The name for the new element

attributes - The attributes for the new element

parent - The parent for the new element or null if this is a root element

Returns:

The created DOM Element

createTextNode

public org.w3c.dom.Text createTextNode(java.lang.String data,
                                       org.w3c.dom.Element parent)

Creates a DOM Text node and appends it as a child to the given parent element or just appends the data to the last child of parent if that last child is a Text node. In other words, this method avoids the creation of adjacent Text nodes and creates a Text node only when this is necessary.

Parameters:

data - The character data for the text node

parent - The parent for the text node

Returns:

The created or existent Text node

createProcessingInstruction

public org.w3c.dom.ProcessingInstruction createProcessingInstruction(java.lang.String target,
                                                                     java.lang.String data,
                                                                     org.w3c.dom.Element parent)

Creates a DOM ProcessingInstruction node and appends it as a child to the given parent element.

Parameters:

target - The target for the new processing instruction

data - The data for the new processing instruction

parent - The parent for the new processing instruction

Returns:

The created ProcessingInstruction
